total_o forsake_v they_o the_o second_o induration_n or_o harden_v the_o first_o be_v a_o final_a denial_n of_o grace_n necessary_a to_o obtain_v eternal_a life_n thus_o god_n be_v say_v to_o forsake_v wicked_a man_n when_o he_o leave_v they_o in_o unbelief_n and_o deny_v they_o faith_n in_o christ_n which_o no_o reprobate_a have_v harden_v be_v a_o high_a degree_n of_o punishment_n it_o be_v a_o effect_n of_o god_n anger_n when_o he_o do_v not_o take_v away_o the_o hardness_n and_o malice_n which_o be_v in_o a_o man_n heart_n but_o by_o a_o just_a judgement_n it_o become_v a_o punishment_n for_o former_a sin_n and_o by_o outward_a mean_n be_v so_o aggravate_v that_o though_o god_n add_v no_o new_a degree_n of_o hardness_n it_o suffer_v it_o to_o spring_v out_o of_o the_o root_n of_o former_a evil_n thus_o we_o often_o read_v in_o exodus_fw-la etc._n exodus_fw-la exod._n 4.21_o and_o chap._n 7_o 3_o 13._o etc._n etc._n god_n harden_v pharaoh_n heart_n and_o the_o 14.17_o the_o chap._n 14.17_o egyptian_n but_o this_o harden_v do_v not_o indifferent_o befall_v every_o reprobate_n only_o some_o notorious_a sinner_n whence_o it_o be_v a_o particular_a judgement_n of_o god_n which_o be_v not_o execute_v with_o a_o bare_a permission_n and_o direction_n with_o relation_n to_o every_o reprobate_n but_o with_o act_v something_o within_o and_o without_o the_o wicked_a whereby_o their_o malice_n and_o hardness_n be_v increase_v we_o have_v several_a reason_n to_o prove_v it_o first_o harden_v be_v a_o judiciary_n act_n of_o god_n and_o a_o effect_n of_o his_o anger_n now_o a_o judge_n do_v punish_v not_o only_o with_o permit_v and_o direct_v but_o also_o with_o actual_o inflict_v a_o pain_n by_o himself_o or_o by_o another_o when_o god_n harden_v he_o do_v something_o as_o it_o appear_v by_o the_o usual_a phrase_n of_o scripture_n which_o express_v the_o judgement_n of_o a_o angry_a god_n with_o word_n signify_v a_o action_n now_o he_o who_o only_o permit_v do_v not_o act_n but_o leave_v other_o to_o act_n and_o to_o call_v this_o a_o direction_n to_o the_o end_n be_v not_o to_o the_o purpose_n the_o direction_n be_v not_o the_o harden_v but_o a_o consequence_n of_o it_o furthermore_o if_o harden_v proper_o so_o call_v be_v a_o bare_a permission_n it_o will_v not_o be_v a_o special_a judgement_n of_o god_n as_o it_o be_v against_o notorious_a sinner_n because_o no_o sin_n be_v commit_v by_o any_o sinner_n whatsoever_o but_o by_o god_n permission_n moreover_o if_o god_n be_v say_v to_o harden_v man_n because_o he_o permit_v they_o to_o be_v harden_v in_o the_o same_o manner_n he_o may_v be_v say_v to_o kill_v steal_v commit_v adultery_n etc._n etc._n because_o he_o permit_v all_o these_o sin_n which_o be_v most_o false_a therefore_o god_n harden_v a_o man_n heart_n be_v not_o a_o bare_a permission_n but_o a_o action_n as_o it_o appear_v in_o the_o case_n of_o pharaoh_n for_o if_o god_n have_v harden_v only_o permissive_o there_o have_v be_v no_o need_n of_o so_o often_o repeat_v by_o moses_n the_o command_n of_o let_v the_o people_n go_v no_o need_n of_o so_o many_o miracle_n wrought_v nor_o of_o so_o many_o plague_n inflict_v upon_o egypt_n whereby_o the_o tyrant_n be_v more_o and_o more_o harden_a and_o more_o cruel_a which_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o those_o judgement_n of_o god_n upon_o some_o to_o who_o they_o be_v a_o occasion_n of_o grow_v worse_a and_o worse_o thus_o when_o 21._o when_o rev._n 16.9_o 21._o man_n be_v scorch_v with_o great_a heat_n and_o when_o great_a hail_n out_o of_o

will_n of_o wicked_a man_n be_v move_v to_o commit_v those_o thing_n which_o in_o relation_n to_o man_n have_v the_o nature_n of_o sin_n this_o i_o bring_v to_o show_v that_o as_o our_o adversary_n will_v have_v it_o it_o be_v no_o new_a doctrine_n of_o our_o own_o but_o that_o some_o eminent_a doctor_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n have_v find_v it_o in_o scripture_n as_o well_o as_o we_o but_o the_o better_a to_o understand_v this_o we_o must_v know_v how_o god_n harden_v satan_n harden_v and_o reprobate_n harden_v themselves_o god_n as_o a_o judge_n satan_n as_o a_o executioner_n and_o the_o wicked_a harden_v themselves_o as_o guilty_a men._n first_o god_n harden_v not_o by_o infuse_v any_o malice_n or_o hardness_n but_o first_o leave_v they_o in_o their_o hardness_n not_o soften_a they_o withdraw_v and_o deny_v they_o his_o grace_n second_o work_v something_o both_o within_o and_o without_o wicked_a man_n by_o mean_n whereof_o out_o of_o their_o natural_a corruption_n they_o take_v a_o occasion_n of_o harden_v themselves_o more_o and_o more_o such_o be_v several_a thought_n and_o affection_n not_o evil_a in_o themselves_o as_o may_v be_v outward_a lust_n and_o desire_n of_o honour_n riches_n etc._n etc._n which_o the_o corrupt_a mind_n be_v easy_o and_o blind_o entice_v by_o and_o lead_v unto_o such_o be_v also_o several_a calamity_n precept_n accusation_n threaten_n prohibition_n three_o with_o deliver_v up_o to_o satan_n and_o to_o one_o corrupt_a affection_n four_o incline_v evil_a affection_n to_o some_o certain_a object_n as_o a_o punishment_n for_o some_o time_n one_o sin_n be_v the_o punishment_n of_o another_o the_o devil_n have_v god_n leave_n harden_v with_o entice_a man_n to_o all_o sort_n of_o evil_n blind_a reason_n disturb_v the_o fancy_n strike_v fear_n give_v vain_a hope_n and_o suggest_v evil_a thought_n when_o man_n be_v either_o awake_a or_o a_o sleep_n wicked_a man_n do_v harden_v themselves_o with_o give_v up_o themselves_o to_o their_o own_o lust_n reject_v the_o dictate_v of_o right_a reason_n despise_v command_n threaten_n etc._n etc._n hence_o it_o appear_v how_o the_o act_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o of_o reprobate_n side_n concur_v to_o harden_v be_v evil_a for_o the_o most_o part_n but_o on_o god_n part_n all_o be_v good_a of_o themselves_o therefore_o god_n can_v by_o no_o mean_n be_v make_v the_o author_n of_o sin_n though_o he_o harden_v not_o only_o with_o permit_v but_o also_o in_o act_v there_o be_v no_o certainty_n of_o reprobation_n whilst_o man_n be_v alive_a except_o in_o case_n of_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o be_v never_o forgive_v and_o so_o commit_v by_o none_o but_o reprobate_n all_o other_o sin_n be_v pardonable_a which_o be_v common_a to_o elect_n special_o to_o those_o not_o yet_o regenerate_v and_o to_o reprobate_n therefore_o by_o they_o we_o ought_v not_o and_o can_v ground_v any_o judgement_n the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v not_o befall_v every_o reprobate_n but_o only_o some_o as_o induration_n proper_o so_o call_v and_o although_o the_o number_n of_o reprobate_n be_v much_o great_a than_o that_o of_o the_o elect_n yet_o no_o man_n but_o he_o who_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v just_a cause_n to_o despair_v and_o of_o that_o too_o one_o be_v not_o rash_o to_o judge_v but_o hereafter_o we_o shall_v have_v occasion_n to_o enlarge_v upon_o this_o before_o i_o make_v a_o end_n with_o this_o point_n as_o much_o conduce_v to_o our_o purpose_n and_o to_o show_v that_o what_o we_o hold_v in_o this_o matter_n be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o st._n paul_n i_o must_v show_v how_o two_o objection_n of_o our_o adversary_n against_o it_o be_v set_v down_o and_o answer_v by_o the_o apostle_n they_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o 9th_o chapter_n to_o the_o roman_n wherein_o be_v decide_v these_o matter_n of_o

but_o because_o some_o of_o the_o unlearned_a sort_n of_o people_n and_o other_o have_v a_o prejudice_n against_o the_o word_n as_o i_o have_v do_v about_o the_o name_n predestination_n so_o i_o must_v show_v reprobation_n to_o be_v a_o scripture_n phrase_n always_o take_v in_o a_o ill_a sense_n thus_o st._n paul_n speak_v of_o the_o 31._o the_o rom_n 1.18_o 28_o 29_o 30_o 31._o ungodliness_n and_o unrighteousness_n of_o some_o man_n against_o which_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v reveal_v from_o heaven_n he_o say_v god_n give_v they_o over_o to_o a_o reprobate_a mind_n that_o be_v to_o do_v all_o the_o wickedness_n express_v in_o the_o three_o follow_a verse_n which_o be_v the_o work_n of_o reprobate_n and_o wicked_a men._n and_o in_o another_o place_n the_o apostl_n speak_v of_o some_o that_o 1.16_o that_o tit._n 1.16_o be_v unto_o every_o good_a work_n reprobate_a unfit_a for_o and_o uncapable_a of_o it_o some_o 3.8_o some_o 2_o tim._n 3.8_o be_v reprobate_a concern_v the_o faith_n so_o elsewhere_o he_o speak_v of_o it_o in_o the_o proper_a sense_n and_o to_o our_o present_a purpose_n 13.5_o purpose_n 2_o cor._n 13.5_o know_v you_o not_o your_o own_o self_n how_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v in_o you_o except_o you_o be_v reprobate_n where_o christ_n be_v not_o there_o be_v the_o reprobate_n but_o christ_n have_v nothing_o to_o do_v as_o mediator_n with_o those_o who_o lie_v under_o the_o decree_n of_o reprobation_n thus_o it_o appear_v how_o reprobation_n be_v a_o scripture_n word_n and_o consequent_o may_v well_o be_v use_v in_o its_o sense_n now_o to_o the_o thing_n as_o there_o be_v election_n so_o there_o be_v reprobation_n st._n paul_n speak_v of_o both_o as_o part_n of_o predestination_n when_o he_o say_v 5.9_o say_v 1_o thes_n 5.9_o god_n have_v not_o appoint_v we_o to_o wrath_n but_o to_o obtain_v salvation_n by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n hence_o it_o be_v clear_a how_o god_n appoint_v some_o to_o salvation_n through_o christ_n and_o other_o to_o wrath_n which_o be_v reprobation_n in_o god_n work_n of_o mercy_n and_o salvation_n ever_o mention_n be_v make_v of_o christ_n but_o not_o in_o those_o of_o justice_n and_o damnation_n because_o there_o be_v no_o mercy_n from_o god_n but_o through_o the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o where_o be_v no_o interest_n in_o christ_n there_o be_v no_o true_a save_a mercy_n the_o world_n may_v be_v call_v the_o house_n of_o god_n so_o may_v national_a church_n or_o particular_a congregation_n wherein_o be_v believer_n and_o hypocrite_n therefore_o as_o 21._o as_o 2_o tim._n 2.20_o 21._o in_o a_o great_a house_n there_o be_v not_o only_a vessel_n of_o gold_n and_o vessel_n of_o silver_n but_o also_o of_o wood_n and_o of_o earth_n and_o some_o to_o honour_n and_o some_o to_o

and_o as_o 3.7_o as_o matth._n 3.7_o john_n baptist_n say_v to_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n there_o be_v the_o wrath_n to_o come_v reprobation_n be_v the_o predestination_n of_o some_o to_o

author_n of_o the_o decree_n as_o of_o election_n so_o o_o reprobation_n for_o as_o in_o time_n he_o damn_v some_o as_o scripture_n express_v it_o in_o several_a place_n so_o god_n from_o eternity_n reprobate_v they_o and_o appoint_v they_o to_o damnation_n because_o as_o i_o say_v before_o nothing_o be_v do_v in_o time_n but_o what_o from_o eternity_n god_n order_v shall_v be_v so_o as_o there_o

to_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n for_o that_o perfection_n whereby_o he_o do_v good_a to_o some_o do_v not_o hinder_v his_o justice_n and_o judgement_n against_o other_o neither_o do_v it_o follow_v that_o because_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o one_o man_n to_o wish_v another_o man_n well_o therefore_o god_n be_v bind_v for_o this_o be_v the_o objection_n to_o wish_v and_o do_v good_a to_o all_o

for_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o justice_n sin_n be_v the_o reason_n for_o reprobation_n if_o we_o absolute_o inquire_v into_o the_o cause_n for_o man_n fall_v and_o sinner_n be_v reprobate_v but_o if_o

the_o answer_n be_v god_n have_v so_o decree_v for_o sin_n which_o in_o his_o sight_n they_o be_v guilty_a of_o and_o this_o to_o declare_v his_o justice_n nevertheless_o sin_n alone_o be_v not_o
